4.1.3 Set Wiegand Reader Type (LED Control)

The Set Wiegand Reader Type field allows an operator to set the type of LED control used by the

Wiegand device(s) attached to the controller (reader 1 and/or reader 2). This provides the Doors

software with the information needed to properly control the Wiegand reader’s LED. The Doors

software recognizes three different ways to control the LED: Single Line, Dual Line, and Essex

Keypad.

1. To set the Wiegand reader type, click on the Setup ⇒ System pull-down menu or click on the

tool bar button. Then click on the Controllers tab. If the “Reader Wiegand Type” columns do not

appear in the window, use the scroll bar at the bottom of the window and scroll to the right until the

columns appear (see Figure 3-17).

NOTE: The network is able to determine whether or not you are connected to a Wiegand type reader.

If you are not using any Wiegand readers, these columns will not appear.

2. Scroll down the list of controllers and locate the Wiegand controller that has readers to be

configured.

3. Scan across the row and locate the Reader 1 Wiegand Type or Reader 2 Wiegand Type column (as

appropriate) and click on the in that cell. A list with the three LED control types appears: Single

Line, Dual Line, and Essex Keypad.

4. If that reader is an Essex Keypad, select that type. If not, the reader must be either Single Line or

Dual Line. Review the manual for the Wiegand reader and determine the number of LED control

lines used by the device. If one LED control line is used, select Single Line. If two LED control

lines are used, select Dual Line. In the following example (see Figure 3-17) reader 1 has been set to

Dual Line and reader 2 has been set to Essex Keypad.

5. Once changes have been made, click on the button. If the changes are not saved before

clicking any other button or exiting the system setup window, the data entered is lost and must be

re-entered.

6. Now update the access control network with the new information. Click on the button on

the tool bar (for details on the update process refer to “Update the Network” on page 35 in

section 5).
